About Aswan

Assoean is Egyptes rustige zuidelijke stad aan de Nijl, waar feloeken glijden tussen granieten eilanden, Nubische dorpen en oevers met palmen.

De Nijl is hier op zijn mooist, doorbroken door granieten rotsblokken en groene eilanden. Elephantine bevat ruïnes van oude tempels en kleurrijke Nubische dorpen, Kitchener's Island is bedekt met een botanische tuin, en op de westoever zijn de graven van de edelen uitgehouwen in de kliffen van Qubbet el-Hawa, terwijl het gekoepelde mausoleum van de Aga Khan verderop naar het zuiden op een woestijnheuvel staat.

Top-ranked sights in Aswan: Abu Simbel Temples, Philae Temple (Temple of Isis), Aswan High Dam.
